An action-packed top-down racer - like a combination of Micro Machines and Mario Kart.
Start off at 50cc and work your way up to the high-speed 150cc races.
Use powerups to blast through your rivals and knock them into last.
19 different races to complete - including special icy tracks.

Good fun and great level of polish. Would definitely recommend.
@benvium This is a really fun game and I'm enjoying working my way through the levels. I assume that the computer cars are all set to particular standards (i.e. yellow always seems to win) ?
One minor quibble: whilst racing I'm generally holding down the "X" button. When the level ends, "X" is used to advance to the next level which initially would move me on before I was ready. Would it be better if this was "Z" instead?
@phil Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, at the moment each npc car color has it's own 'top speed' (pun intended) that's the same every race. Do you think it'd be more fun each each race or perhaps each cc class (50,100,150) had a different 'fastest' car? Regarding changing the button to start the next level - yeah I think that's a good idea. When I was getting my daughter to playtest this she was having the same issue too. If I get some time I'll push an update!

This is great! Great job balancing it, the car feels fun and responsive and a crash does not mean the end of your race. Good balance between forgiveness and skill.
